PicoRover to the Moon

This is a simulation based on a home made launcher of 815 kg and a payload of 500 grams like the PicoRover. The time of arrival to the Moon is about 2 days and 12 hours. This mission is composed by a Rocket of two stages, a hover and the PicoRover. The first stage made of APCP (IspVAC=260 s) is 731 kg (14 kN thrust) burn out is 128 seconds (DeltaV=5,000 m/s). The second stage made of bi-propellant (IspVAC=310 s) is 82 kg (1.3 kN thrust) burn out is 165 seconds (DeltaV=7,600 m/s). The hover also with bi-propellant (IspVAC=310 s) is 2.5 kg (51 N thrust) and works for 120 seconds (DeltaV=2,800 m/s).

What simulator is this?

[joshuatristancho]

This is a home made simulator. Nothing special. Programed in Visual Basic and OpenGL.

Thanks for asking,

See the wiki page for moon-20 @ google code

I used C++ to control OpenGL and GUI is made in Visual Basic. Joshua gave me flight equations hence simulation is done in Visual Basic..

would have been easier to use Orbiter simulator to do this less work and it would have looked good, it could have done this and more

See code google com p moon-20, adding dots and slashes
